A good starting point might be to read Eric Raymond's article on how to ask questions the smart way, e.g., at http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html The above description does not contain anywhere near enough details. What interface are you using: USB or Ethernet? Is the modem in bridge mode? Are you able to get a DHCP address from it? Etc., etc. What does not working mean? What have you tried? Have you searched Google and/or the list archives? Please do not expect people to spend *their* time to come up with a canned solution for your benefit.

I'm using connexant 220bx ethernet modem. In windows it works well, by getting a static ip (preconfigured with modem say 192.1.1.1) through DHCP. When I try using the same by configuring my NIC to obtain IP through NIC (thats how it works in windows) on my FC4, it fails in getting the ip address, (dmesg shows it actually fails in dhcp stage itself ). Modem is preconfigured and i could see the configuration through windows XP. I tried getting my LAN card configured by giving some static ip to it as well, though my NIC gets configured well it still fails in connecting to the modem. I tried configuring the through DSL configuration using system-network-configuration (pls ignore the typo in command), still it doesn't work. I've gone through the archives on ilugd site and it didn't help either. Waiting for ur responses rgds Sanjay ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Could anyone help me with getting it work. try http://broadbandforum.in/index.php?showtopic=4665 Though this topic talks about the ubuntu distro it gives certain pointers regarding Ndiswrapper which is supposed to support windows drivers in Linux.
